Coach Steve Trimper’s keys to the series: “We’ve got to throw strikes, no freebies (walks). The weather is going to come into play, so a key is to not give things away. We need to manufacture runs and they have good starting pitching, so we have to get to their bullpen. We’ve got to find ways to get on base: hit by pitch, walk, two-strike hitting.”

Game notes: The Seawolves have several big holes to fill and three key returnees are batting under .200. SBU has won six straight and 10 of 12 in the series. Vanderka pitched a no-hitter Sunday at Fordham.
